Today's Recipe from Our Files is from the 1930s, via the 1990s. In 1999, a reader shared this recipe her grandmother clipped from the The Times-Picayune in the 1930s.

"This sauce can be used on chicken, but there are better things to do with chicken, " she writes. "It is really meant for ham and gives it a new life."
